“He's definitely trying to push what a guitar could be”: Misha Mansoor joins Tim Henson and Tosin Abasi in praising this emerging virtuoso – who’s changing the landscape of progressive guitar

Misha Mansoor has named the emerging electric guitar player who he thinks is taking the instrument to all-new heights – and it’s a player who’s already been singled out for praise from some of this generation’s biggest names.

At Guitar Summit last month, Mansoor was on hand to take Guitar World through his new stable of Jackson Juggernaut signature guitars. During the conversation, the Periphery pioneer was asked if there were any up-and-coming players who have caught his eye in recent times – and a familiar name cropped up.
